From Theory to Field
will be a practical, farmer-focused learning event exploring how living soil management can support soil function, dry-season resilience, and whole-farm productivity.
Hosted at Little Dog Farm in Creston, BC, this field-based event will give participants a chance to learn about ecological progress in a real farm setting, hear what has worked and what has not, and take away practical ideas they can adapt to their own fields.
Why Little Dog Farm
Little Dog Farm offers a real-world demonstration site where soil restoration, orchard management, biodiversity, and water resilience can be discussed in context. This event will use the farm as a living classroom, with space to examine what is improving, which methods are being used to restore soil life, what remains challenging, and how other farms can adapt these to their own fields.
